Lovers' Eyes
& SONS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now just aches and it makes me blind
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
But I can't see the others other in my life
We too young and heads too strong
To bear the weight of these lovers eyes
I feel numb beneath your tongue
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
And let me die where I lie
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes
There is no drink or drug I've tried
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
I feel numb beneath her tongue
Her strength just makes me feel less strong
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
And let me die where I lie
Beneath the curse of my lovers eyes
I walk slow
I walk slow
Take my hand help me on my way, ha

Love was kind for a time
Love used to be gentle and gracious, but it is not anymore
But now just aches and it makes me blind
Love has turned into pain and is blinding me from seeing other important things in life
This mirror holds my eyes too bright
This mirror reflects an overbearing brightness in my eyes
But I can't see the others other in my life
I am unable to see the important people in my life besides my lover
We too young and heads too strong
We are too young and our egos are too strong to handle the intensity of love
To bear the weight of these lovers eyes
We cannot handle the heavy burden of each other's expectations, demands, and judgments in love
I feel numb beneath your tongue
I feel emotionally and mentally numb under the influence of my lover's words and actions
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes

Tame the ghosts in my head
I need to confront and control the haunting memories and insecurities in my mind
That run wild and wish me dead

Should you shake my ash to the wind
If you scatter my ashes to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
God, please forgive me for all my past mistakes and flaws
And let me die where I lie
And allow me to pass away from this world where I am currently stuck
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes
Underneath the dreadful pressure and agony of love and relationships
There is no drink or drug I've tried
No drink or drug has worked to cure the effects of the curse of love that I experience
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
To eliminate the detrimental consequences of being in a relationship with someone
Her strength just makes me feel less strong
Her power and intensity in love make me feel weaker and less confident about myself
I walk slow
I move slowly and cautiously in life and love
I walk slow
I move slowly and cautiously in life and love
Take my hand help me on my way, ha
Please lend me your hand and support as I navigate through life and love with difficulty
